Empire was led to victory by Jeremy Watson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Willcox had no answer to Watson as he didn't allow a single earned run over six innings pitched. Watson has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive pitching appearances.
